Coming Down to the Wire
The Breakaway Fitness Challenge – Part Deux is rapidly reaching its conclusion and the pressure on the contestants continues to grow. With only a few weeks left, time is running short for the participants who aren’t already on track to reach their goals. Signs of stress are already starting to show and will likely get worse in the days ahead.
Clashes with the paparazzi have also become more and more common, as overzealous photographers hope to catch one of the contestants sneaking off to Dairy Queen for an afternoon snack or getting the value-sized fries with lunch at McDonalds. During the Media Breakaway Halloween festivities last week, several photographers dressed up in costumes to infiltrate the offices to get some candid shots of candy eating.
“We thought it was a great idea,” said one unnamed photographer. “We saw lots of people eating candy and snacks, but with all the costumes we couldn’t actually identify a single Fitness Challenge contestant. We ended up just taking pictures of everyone, until we were recognized and a confrontation with Batman foiled our plans.”
The craziness has spread across the internet, as well. Recently a half-eaten donut was put up for auction on eBay that the owner claimed was the remains of a snack session by one of Chubby's Angels. When asked which Angel the donut belonged to, he could only come up with "Sabrina, or the blond from the poster...Farrah something." Once it became obvious that the item's authenticity could not be verified, it was removed from the site.
Despite the increasingly aggressive press coverage, two of our contestants (Scott Richter and Jenny Frederick) went ahead with plans to attend an important diet and nutrition conference in New York earlier this week. While no photographic evidence has been provided, there were numerous reports of late-night poker parties and visits to the local crab leg emporium.
With all these distractions, how did our contestants do in this week's weigh-in? Did anyone use the benefit of Halloween costumes to sneak candy last week? Was the New York restaurant scene too much temptation for Scott and Jenny? Visit www.breakawayfitnesschallenge.com to read more!
